He Siwei transmigrated. When she woke up, the people around her told her she was the emperor's beloved concubine, but something just didn't seem right...
-
In the fifth year of Tianqi, a strangely dressed woman fell from the sky into Taihe Pond, causing a huge commotion.
While the woman was unconscious, the ministers began examining her belongings. They found a waterproof bag containing candles that gave off light, toys that could sing and talk on their own, a pile of colorful capsules, a rectangular metal object, and more.
Countless skilled craftsmen could not figure out what these objects from beyond the heavens were made of.
There was also the first volume of a novel.
The writing in the novel was very strange. After several ministers studied it day and night, they concluded that it looked like a simplified form of Chinese characters.
By piecing things together, they finally determined that the doomed emperor in the book was none other than their own sovereign, and that his fate was to suddenly fall gravely ill and die.
-
Xu Zhishao was already gravely ill and was about to meet the same fate as in the novel.
Xu Zhishao had never imagined that he, born to be king, would become a stepping stone for the chosen protagonist, disappearing like dust amid the struggle between the nations, with his own country wiped out along with him.
Because of this woman, the ministers argued fiercely every day.
Some wanted to study her, others wanted to imprison her, and still others wanted to kill her. Xu Zhishao, deathly ill, weakly nodded toward the top-scoring candidate for the palace examination, who looked conflicted. "My subject, what do you have to say?"
The top candidate stepped forward to advise him. "Your Majesty, none of this woman's belongings are ordinary. If the book is true, and she is its author, then she is the mother of us all! If we rashly execute her, we may bring down Heaven's wrath!"
With that, he had revealed the truth.
No one dared risk Heaven's wrath.
Since they couldn't kill her or lay a hand on her, they had only one option left: find a way to defy fate and win the emperor a sliver of hope.
And so began a feast created especially for the transmigrator...
